Right and that's why it is a better match-up for Canelo, a taller fighter, with a good power in his left and also a body puncher. So this is going to be a close fight, probably will go like the GGG or Kovalev fight, go to distance and we can only say that Smith has a good chin as well because it never has been broken.

So difficult fight for Canelo and I think he will go on the defensive in the first couple of rounds, try to measure the distance and then step up the heat in the latter rounds, so KO/TKO round 10th-12th or UD.

I think it will be a close fight also. People might think it's easy because Smith struggled against John Ryder in his last fight but it happens sometimes when you fight a lower level opponent it is hard to be motivated and you have a bad night. There's a reason why David Benavidez's promoter had avoided putting him against Smith for as long as possible even though he is owed an opportunity to fight for the WBC title after winning the World Boxing Super Series.

Smith got cut in the eye, that's why he struggled against the underdog Ryder but still he won a close fight in the judges scorecard. I think it was the first time that Smith got cut or at least have to fight with a disadvantage to survived. But with Canelo we do hope that it will be different and make it very competitive and close. And this is what Canelo wants he usually won in close fights or at least when he breaks down his big opponent like in the Kovalev fight. And for sure Smith body will be tested by Canelo's powerful body shots to slow him down.

Canelo vs. Smith is now a done deal.

What's interesting is that Smith will have a 7 inch advantage in height and reach. We've never seen Canelo face an opponent this large and it could complicate his strategy.

He has to improve the defense too because so far if he only focuses on the early matches then the opponents in the final matches will take advantage of the golden opportunity to knock down Canelo, so in my opinion don't give even that little to the opponent because this is a golden opportunity for Canelo in his career.

In my opinion Canelo needs to improve the way he begins fights because for what I have seen he starts very slowly and for the most part he loses the first rounds and it is not until the middle of the fight that you begin to see that he gets on rhythm, and while he has been able to get away with it because he's a very heavy puncher that slowly but surely keeps draining the stamina out of their opponents if the fight gets to the final stages most likely he's going to be down on the judge cards and that puts additional pressure on him to perform.

However there is no doubt in my mind that he is one of the top fighters of the world, he just needs to polish his style a little bit more and he could become one of the greats.

I don't know if this fight will push through as there are another name floating around, Callum Smith.

[..snip..]

Thanks for this information mate, will just update the OP if there is already an official announcement of a Canelo vs Smith fight. They way i look at it, seems that Smith is likely to be the opponent of Canelo this December but still the same, Canelo have the advantage of this fight.

It Callum Smith will the the likely opponent then good for him. As I champion, he needs to make some money now and the Canelo sweepstakes will bring him that, Lol. It used to be the Pacquiao sweepstakes, but now Canelo is the biggest attraction. So even if he losses this fight (most likely), it will still be a win-win situation for Callum and his team.

I think it will be an upgrade if Callum Smith will be the opponent of Canelo instead of Caleb Plant. Smith has a good left hook and I would say has more power than Caleb so it will be a good match for Canelo and is very tall as well. So let's see, but I do agree, Canelo will take over in the middle rounds and maybe go for the knock out.

I agree, it's a better version of Caleb Plant as Callum Smith has that nasty body shots are well and has knockouts his opponents with that one single blow to the body or accumulation that made the quit against him.

So it will be a good and competitive fight for Canelo, but he has the experience, face the best while Callum has fight B-level fighters. But we can't blame him as the division is not that stack up with good fighters.

He is certainly going for a KO as his stats are telling. 36KO out of 53 fight, that's a huge KO percentage, so it's likely to happen. The odds here that would interest the bettors are the KO odds, as if we only choose who is the winner of the fight, then definitely we won't get a good betting odds for Canelo.

Canelo Alvarez to face Callum Smith in December, DAZN could still carry fight

The Canelo Alvarez sweepstakes may be quickly over, and a fight that has been a lot of fans’ desired bout for the Mexican superstar may be happening.

ESPN’s Salvador Rodriguez reports that Alvarez will be facing Callum Smith in December in Texas. There had been earlier speculation that Caleb Plant could get the call, and Billy Joe Saunders’ name was brought up again, too, but it looks as though it will be Smith.

The date will be either Dec. 18, 19, or 20 — that’s Friday through Sunday — and the location will be in Texas, either AT&T Stadium in Arlington or the Alamodome in San Antonio.

Still, doesn't change the odds, it will still favour Alvarez no matter who he faces right now.

We will just wait for the official announcement though.

Canelo has to focus on this fight first, and I believe he will do his usual hard training to win convincingly on whoever his opponent is. He is giving chance to a non popular fighter but with great record and he always fight big names in boxing, so much respect for Canelo here as he has already proven himself that he is a legit warrior.

Mayweather even rank him in the top 3 best boxers in the world on the video I saw, so that's a great recognition coming from the cash king who knows how the business runs very well.

He should be more focus he has a long lay off and this is his first fight after he become a free agent he needs a dramatic win probably a knock out, since he is on his own now and he is now the one managing his contract, he should stay in the super middle weight division, because this is the weight where he is more comfortable,now that he is a free agent there's a possibility of a third GGG fight since GGG is now a champion again.

It looks like Callum Smith is now also in the running to be Canelo's next opponent. He is a more accomplished fighter than Plant but he his style should be more favorable to Canelo. Having that money for the UK broadcasting rights will probably tip the balance in favor of Smith being the next opponent.

We don' appreciate this fight as we can't move on to the big fight of Canelo with triple G.

Fans deserve a better fight, I'm not too familiar who is the heavy contender in his division but a trilogy fight with GGG would be a good treat to the fans as soon triple G would retire since he is not getting any younger. Anyway, there's no betting odds for this fight yet, please update the odds in the OP when available @bisdak40.

I really think that Canelo is just buying time, he knows that time is on his side while it plays against GGG, so if he can delay the fight for another year then their next fight will be easier, we must remember their first match ended in a split draw which was incredibly controversial at the time since I think any boxing fan saw GGG winning that fight, maybe not by a large margin but it was a win nonetheless, and the second fight ended with a majority decision that once again left a lot of people thinking that GGG was robbed.

So I think Canelo is avoiding him until he is completely sure he can beat him now in a clear fashion as the two previous fights have generated a lot of controversy.

No doubt, Caleb is the underdog here with only 20 fights, but he is taller and has longer reach. In other words, Caleb is bigger, and perhaps this could also potentially lead to an upset match, just like Lomachenko. The good thing is, middleweight is the natural weight class for Canelo.

It is just GGG, known to most and I believe that he is just the best contender for Canelo. Not even seeing other boxers tougher than GGG at this level. They got already in 2 fights before, why not ready set them for the next fight. They are actually the best show that the boxing fans love to see on screen and on the ring, not this one.

Not to say that this is an easy win for Canelo but I think the fight won't last until 12 rounds...

They should go for the third fight because Alvarez did not win convincingly it's still going to be a mega fight the way how they fought each other in their two previous fights, each one is not afraid, and willing to go toe to toe and I don't believe GGG is that old he is a champion now and he won the title convincingly, people should not take it away to GGG.

Everyone would want to see that, however, the current situation, I think the timing is bad fora mega fight.
If ever they will fight for the 3rd time, most likely that would be their last and I gotta be honest here, though Alvarez is younger, but I would lean on GGG to win.

As we all knew that Canelo is now a free agent and negotiation for a potential showdown with Plant on the 3rd week of December is likely to happen. The venue could be Texas where audience is allowed.

What do you think of this fight? Another cherry picking?

https://www.boxingnews24.com/2020/11/canelo-alvarez-now-a-free-agent-could-fight-caleb-plant-on-dec-19/

So Canelo finally find His way to go up the ring again as free agent?and The Audience is allowed to watch?seems like normal thing is back in gambling world.

Sorry but the opponent seems to be not so popular and attractive,but of course nothing will be certain until the fight is over.
i will be for Caleb here no doubt.

Just waiting for the fair and Odds to put my bet with confident .

Canelo have parted ways with Golden Boy Promotions so with that move, can we expect more challenging fight of Canelo in the near future?

... Canelo already said that he doesn't want to fight GGG anymore, he was just 'forced' to fight him this year because of Golden Boy and DAZN, but since he is no longer in contract then he will go on his own route.

He doesn't want tougher opponents I presume. There is no logical reason why he would shy away from a true rival. All the pros are there like bigger PPV and finally settling the score leaving all doubts behind.

I honestly want Caleb to win this fight.

At this point, Canelo doesn’t need Golovkin. He’s already proven that he’s superior to the Kazakhstan fighter from their two previous matches, so the fans won’t mind if they don’t fight again.
